As the market trackers are aware, the global stock markets are influenced by the several macro-economic factors as well as by the comments from the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve. It can be assumed that the market players, in the current scenario, need to focus over the news related to the trade battle and they need to track corporate earnings of the US companies. The US stock markets might get influenced as a result of the earnings season. Also, tracking the earnings report closely can help the investors in sound decision-making as the companies generally provide the outlook by considering the global scenario.
In the current environment, it looks like that the market players are expecting that the Federal Reserve would go for the rate cut. As the investors know, the US Federal Reserve meeting has been scheduled for July 30-July 31, 2019. The Federal Reserve meet gives the broader picture of the global economy which could also help the market players in taking the investment decision.
